The National FFA Organization is proud to announce a new way for people to support the next generation of leaders for this year’s Give FFA Day: ChapterBoost. The ChapterBoost program showcases local FFA chapters and their goals for hands-on learning, leadership development and agricultural education, giving donors the opportunity to make an immediate impact by selecting a project to support directly through crowdfunding an individual chapter.
The 11th Annual Give FFA Day will be celebrated during FFA Week on Thursday, February 26. Give FFA Day is an opportunity to make an impact on more than one million FFA members across the country, with money raised that day going toward programs on local, state and national levels. Donations support meaningful programs and events, ensure students receive their FFA blue jackets, help cover travel for leadership and career experiences, and provide ongoing resources for agricultural educators.
“We’re setting our most ambitious goal yet to raise $1.75 million on Give FFA Day,” said Kimberly Coveney, senior manager of individual giving, National FFA Foundation. “This goal speaks to the momentum behind our mission, which we are thrilled to continue. Every dollar donated helps open doors for our more than one million members by funding programs, leadership development and experiences that prepare them for careers in agriculture and beyond.”
Any gifts made to ChapterBoost during Give FFA Day will count toward the final Give FFA Day total. The ChapterBoost program is available year-round, so supporters can continue investing in chapters whenever they feel inspired.
In 2025, supporters donated more than $1.6 million on Give FFA Day with gifts of all sizes. National FFA also reached a significant milestone in 2025, with the National FFA Foundation donating its 20,000th jacket through Give the Gift of Blue. The 20,000th jacket was awarded to Tanner Pritchard, who is a member of West Brunswick FFA in North Carolina.
This year, John Deere will match the first $50,000 donated on Give FFA Day.
The National FFA Organization is a school-based national youth leadership development organization of more than 1,042,245 student members as part of 9,407 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
